One cab or two?

...and you can put your spittoon on it as well for when you're singing and dippin' Skoal at the same time...

I worked in that guy's band for a months back in the 70s!
Only he was using an empty Pepsi bottle for a spittoon.

Yeah chairs aren't classy enough, much better to use some wood found in a parking lot.

Hey man, I sanded it and painted it black!

Old floor lamps make cool mic stands.

Two speaker cabs will make you look twice as cool / talented. Also does a better job of hiding any cables snaking along behind the backline. You'll also have your back-up on hand should you encounter "cab gnome" infestation. Remember: "two is one, and one is none".

What kind of milk crate is best for metal?

Riis

the only person who is allowed to have a chair on stage is B.B. King

Thanks, rapidfirebob! Now I want ANOTHER GK NEO212-II!

Big bump on that Bumperbass! I got the first one practically new right here on TB. Number two came from RMC Direct for $300 some months back. Now you have to contact them for the price, no big deal. Two of these stacked vertically is mighty fine I tell you, and will leave some money in the bank. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

And when he stands up, you know ***** about to go down. BB King standing up to rip is one of the most intimidating sights I have ever seen.

That's where I got mine, too. $499 w/free shipping. Oh man. G>A>S>
One is amazing. Can't imagine what two would do!

Oops! Misread your post. I have a 212! Still want another! lol

 

[bumperbass]

Now, they're $600! Shoulda bought two to begin with.

I'm playing my GB Shuttle 6.0 through two GB Neo 112 IIs, and very happily I might add, stacking them vertically. I've played two gigs with this rig so far, number three this Saturday at an outdoor festival.

My vote is for two cabs. Always.

OP, if your two 112-II stack easily, by all means bring both.
You CAN turn down, and get that clean tone noted above.
You CAN have a spare if one of them fails.
A milk crate with a sheet of black fabric makes an elegant and invisible lift to get the stack closer to ear level.

My band plays a regular restaurant gig where we opt for a quiet 85dB at the tables.
My bassist plays this gig with a single JBL E140, which is sufficient for this use.
I use a single 10" for my keys.

Outdoors is always a problem, because 2x12 is simply not enough.
My bassist uses a Peavey 1820 outdoors, and this is marginal at best.
Without full PA support outdoors, there is no such thing as "too much".
If we have room and trailer parking space, the T39 or T48 bass horn is the ticket.
The downside is the biamp rack, big cabs, and more general hassle.

We usually have PA support outdoors. The two 12 GK cabs are great. We played July 4th with our PA and did not put instruments through it and my rig was fine. Granted, it was not a huge area. Carlos Reyes, the harp player, is playing just before us. I haven't seen him in years. Bands play all day and we're last this evening. One drummer is out of town unfortunately.
Too bad prices have gone up at RMC. Glad I got my GK cab when I did.
